hamas says israeli rockets have destroyed its headquarters in gaza on a full day of deadly strikes. israeli troops are massing along the gaza border some seventy five thousand reservists are called up for duty all the details coming up. also this hour this year and rebels are bonded by old whelming support the u.k. considers lifting and e.u. arms embargo while france and turkey recognize the opposition group as the legitimate government. and britain's behind some verge on skates by the financial crisis while the public is left to pick up the tab one word sixty six billion pounds.

this is coming to life hello and welcome to the program israel is stepping up its assault on gaza targeting around one hundred fifty size overnight including the headquarters of hamas meanwhile israeli troops some massing on the gaza border with the number of reservists on standby at around seventy five thousand let's not cross live. in tel aviv who is following the developing conflict hello paula so these reports that how much government compounds have been targeted what more can you tell us about that. well the israeli air force has hit the headquarters of the hamas compound in gaza city in some separate strikes with i'm an eyewitness is reporting that there is extensive damage to the building now they were a number of explosions that will heard in and around gaza city on saturday this comes after the israeli air force struck a number of government buildings on fire day including the interior ministry and

number of police compounds several smuggling tunnels as well as a three story building hamas has issued a statement in which it says that it will stand by its people so we are witnessing an escalation in tensions and muscles also said that in no way will it step down now these when your force has said that it has hit some eight hundred targets in the gaza strip it says that this is part of its military campaign over the past four days that started back on wednesday when they took out the hamas military chief at the same time there are some four hundred and fifty rockets that have been fired by palestinian militants into southern israel and we're looking at a situation that the whole south of israel is in a state of high alert with some one million people who have been ordered to stay in bomb shelters the point that needs to be made that when we talk about how much we are talking about an elected government that was chosen by the people of gaza back

in two thousand and six we're not talking about random fighters as i say these are the judgment representatives of the people the friends bijection prime minister yesterday friday was visiting gaza to assess the situation and there was a cease fire that was called for but which is well admittedly broken and this is despite the fact that the israeli army denies this however we have heard from the egyptian prime minister that while the ceasefire supposedly wasn't saved there were at least some two people who were killed in gaza with the prime minister visiting a hospital where he saw a number of children at least one of whom he says was dying. like it's turning the situation into a fully fledged ground invasion so does it seem like we're getting closer to that outcome. so the mood on the ground is that a ground offensive is just hours if not days away there are some seventy five thousand reservists who have been called out these troops are now amassing along the israel gaza border and speaking to his release here inside as well as outside

the country you have israelis who are returning as they are called up for duty the mood very much is that we are going to look at an offensive that will happen remarkably soon yesterday for the first time since nine hundred seventy rockets landed in the capital city of jerusalem and this comes just a day off to a rocket landed not far from tel aviv now this has caused concern amongst his ratings that be hamas militants now have far range missiles knew that they can strike thorough into the heart of israel and certainly this is not going down well with the israeli public which is just another motivation for why they do believe that the prime minister here will call for a ground offensive you also need to remember that we're not that far away from elections for the parliament netanyahu has always been a prime minister when support by showing a very strong substance certainly the mood here is that this is an opportunity for him to drum up support ahead of such crucial elections he's going to tell

a very paula thank you very much indeed for that update. at least twenty seven palestinians with civilians women and children among them have been killed since israel launched its assault on gaza on wednesday staying in contact with activists and documentary filmmaker how we fear is currently working in gaza and he says much of god this population is very young and that most people that heavily reliant on the support of aid agency has been to several sites to screen struck by israeli strikes and frankly being out and about in the gaza strip is the most dangerous thing to do this is our real our massacre according to garson starts the bridge most of the gazan population are under the age of eighteen seventy five percent youth unemployment over sixty percent unemployment massive moment most people in gaza are refugee status and most people over sixty. eight agencies are too tired out just they do not start today so that is what the situation is like

a moment today in these very serious no more than gaza is a big pond where the drones with f. sixteen s with helicopters with names. and so you can just imagine it's not going any better out of syria resistance groups have been aborted by a majority of gazans for the strong resistance in our battling israeli forces and so it's looking at the malls in the palestinian narrative point of view that actually got us into who thought as our group of what seem to be very likely are eminent grounds by its very advanced courses despite a number of civilian deaths in gaza israel has hailed its pillar of defense operation as surgical and claims it only targets military sites and my colleague has been talking to an excel scare spokesperson for the israeli prime minister's office. i want to see that we have only one goal israel has to defend its citizens i'm sure that there is no state no state no russia and no state in

europe and no united states of america can agree with this kind of situation you know our children our elders are fired by rockets on our schools on our civilians and we turn on the terrorists with one very simple goal to stop this firing of rockets and our civilians and we will target terrorists until they stop would you care to explain why the palestinian interior ministry has also been targeted in fact that building is basically left in a state of rubble and ruin that's hardly a militant stronghold in fact the interior ministry is where people get passports visas it's where journalists get their permission to go into the strip why go after why level the interior ministry the explanation is very simple unfortunately a mask terrorists while they target our civilians they hide behind their civilians they hide behind schools now the i.d.f.

our army that wants only to defend our citizens targets only terrorists garza is an extremely confined area a very small area probably certainly overpopulated why are so many children being killed by israeli airstrikes if you're going after militants there are no children been heard by idea if only terrorists heard in only terrorists are targeted while the visit of egyptian of the prime minister of egypt israel didn't fry and didn't attack any target in gaza but hamas here is the target israeli civilians while the visit of the prime minister of egypt and i suggest you check the information because there it cannot be. people well the visit of the prime minister of egypt because we didn't also doing are certainly going to show you. you know you're absolutely right according to the i.d.f.

no air strikes were carried out on the gaza strip juror during the visit of the egyptian prime minister although somehow two palestinians did manage to die the israeli army and the israeli government will do everything needed targeting terrorists only. to stop the firing of rockets on israeli cities don't really schools is really children and if we will need some ground operation we definitely will consider it so. as palestinians are continuing to ask world leaders deployed how to help put a halt to their soul to the u.s. remains firm in its backing of israel president obama spoke to israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu on friday to read his support and go bad. news junkie post says the consequences of further escalation in the conflict and not being properly considered. is well as the sanction of.

just. the intention of breaking the back of his boat i personally think that even with a bearing of someone approach on the ocean which would normally be. all they are doing any sort of thing very very stupid because if there's one thing that you need for the muslim world and he's been seen not only the most frequently but actually all over the world including in the us is that not just into something that is not very well thought out because what could very easily. is not. on these well coming from a leader not also some annoy us enjoy all the one where you have about two million but not as well as grow up some movement of the egyptian army that is very substantial so israel is basically applying was fire.

on the later developments in gaza and israel. britain is considering following france and turkey in recognizing the new syrian opposition group aiming to president assad we hear from one that shortly says western attempts to support the rebels are only i think on country into chaos that's coming away from this one breaks to. things are just getting too expensive in london many families just can't afford to

live in the city anymore so because of upcoming welfare cuts the government is buying or rented property to relocate people outside of the city the maximum housing allowance for welfare will go down to four hundred pounds a month which is peanuts compared to the one thousand two hundred fifty pounds needed to pay for the average three room apartment expelling the poor from london seems a bit fishy to me so instead of say regulating prices or cock for big using the money from the welfare cuts to create jobs so people can earn a living for themselves rather than rely on handouts london has decided to make itself some official get to. what is to call a place where everyone from a certain economic classes forcibly shove to although this may sound like some sort of help from the government it seems to me like a means to get rid of the poor rather than trying to make the poor less poor but that's just my opinion.

it's good to have you with us the syrian rebels are gaining momentum our senior national coalition towards western nations lobbying for support the u.k. is mulling officially recognizing the opposition movement and sending military aides to the alliance after a meeting in london britain wants to see a clear plan of political transition from belise before becoming next in line to officially recognizing the group the coalition will now hold talks with french president francois hollande on saturday after paris said it will also consider sending weapons to the rebels commentator and a blogger believes however that the opposition movement is in disarray with no united voice to speak for the syrian people. in syria of course the process has been much slower and the wave of defection that we saw in libya didn't exactly happen in syria and what's happening now in. syria is that people there are kind of

for presenting the syrian uprising are not the people who are on the ground so we started hearing for example support from different rebel groups armed rebel groups for the new opposition leadership. but who knows the extent of that or whether they would be able to exercise political control so what you really have to look at that there is a strong divide between leadership that is outside the country and doesn't have control on the ground and forces on the ground pretty much doing whatever they want after all we've ended with is to separate opposition bodies because the syrian national council still exists alongside the national coalition the new national coalition so it's a recipe for a more diversion and kind of like call for coherence for moving the country forward . and that's also your call for you right now a look at the dark side of sanctions a teenage boy in a rundown shortage of medicine caused by the strict e.u. and u.s. bongos again there's like republic. of the on line is the pride of britain drowning

i report says the u.k. is new its nuclear powered submarine fleet which cost almost ten billion pounds is too slow rusty and reliable. british taxpayers who helped bailout two of the country's biggest banks at the height of the financial crisis may never see the money again a group of influential m.p.'s how warned that this sixty six billion pounds the government paid to rescue r.b.s. and lloyds t.s.b. may be lost for good. breaks down the numbers. this is all focused around the public accounts committee investigation into the sale of northern rock that was the bank that if you close your mind a couple of years back was one of the first to get the big banking bailout is estimated that for northern rock the taxpayer is a set of these around thirty billion but that's not the worst of it because all the s. and lloyds bank also had

a lot of taxpayers' money funded into those bailouts and the taxpayers could be set to release a staggering sixty six billion pounds on that is very very hard to wrap your head around those figures so we're going to try and compare it really the amount that was put into those bailouts to what we have in the moment spending on social welfare such as pensions education health care and defense these figures coming at a time when everyone here is struggling in a daily we're talking to people who are really struggling to survive in the country in the midst of this very very tough economic times and you kind of got this it was a good report very hard hitting report telling us that there was a monumental collective failure that the treasury was unable to promptly respond because they lack the right skills and understanding so it really sucks a little bit of the billion sorry guys we've lost that thirty sixty six billion you know we weren't quite up to the job one of the great the warning at the very

beginning with the tax payers alliance and doing now by a campaign manager robert oxley thank you for joining us today these types of stories always make me so angry because you know every day we're covering stories where people you know are struggling with a living wage in the way they starts to pensions that you know a tax is a rising all the time and then you have this report showing that you know sixty six billion could be lost i mean it's just cheating irresponsible with taxpayers' money all this report is a. politician to spoil their woolly words. that we were going to make money out of the banks and that propping up the banks would be you know it would be ok and there was a chorus of people from both sides the political divide saying you know we need to bail out about. what's happened is we've lost billions of pounds we've basically allowed politicians to gamble other people's money and lo and behold those politicians have got very good results as is always the case when politicians are spending other people's money it's incredible how often those in power manage to

get every major crisis wrong and i think we're seeing that moment in a rejection in the way that our politics at westminster is out of touch to the point here is it was the writing was on the wall whether any lessons well actually of course remains to be thing but taxpayers they think they've absolutely whopping losses at the moment at least a lot of people saying you know we saved the banks he's going to save us. and right now let's take a look at some other stories making news this hour scuffles between supporters of the cain and anti-government demonstrators thousands of people have been pouring onto the streets since tuesday to protest the country lifting its fuel subsidies that move raise domestic gas prices by more than fifty percent with other fuel costs going up by about said one person has been killed and around seventy five hundred so far during the final days of. a roadside bomb in afghanistan's foreign province has killed at seventeen civilians with children among them most of the victims were aboard a bus returning from a wedding party with

a bride and groom when the explosion happened nobody has claimed responsibility for that although some suspects the taliban earlier this week a mother and her newborn child were among six family members killed in a bombing on the border with pakistan. that time got an american consulate in libya which left four people dead was an act of terror i kinder that's according to the embattled former cia director david petraeus who took this stand on capitol hill the former general had to stand a stated that they didn't arise out of the supporting large demonstration against u.s. made anti islam still the trust maintains that he resigned from his cia post because of an extra mark an extramarital affair and not due to the deadly incident in benghazi. the lower house of the u.s. congress has approved travel and finance restrictions against russian officials suspected of human rights violations is the so-called magnitsky bill after russian lawyer sergei magnitsky who died in

a police custody three years at the house after being held for alleged tax evasion russia has called the move a provocation and promise to retaliate meanwhile lawmakers in washington have voted to lift something it and a trade restrictions that moscow but also an historian dr gerald ford believes u.s. actions will mean souring relations. the message to send to moscow is that the research is very how russia quickly at that when one door closes another one opens what i mean is that that the human rights situation united states and so it's quite terrible and i would hope that the russian duma and the russian authorities would begin to scrutinize carefully the human rights situation right here in the united states where for example it was like one example most many the black population is about twelve or thirteen percent of the population of about fifty percent of the prison population and they are disproportionately represented on death row those slated for execution by the state authorities for example why not a miniscule bill in moscow that would pose visa restrictions on those businesses

who would seek to do business with russia that are involved in violation of equal opportunity laws right here in the united states i mean i think there are a number of measures that could take that would be inappropriate to protect. and as a break we've got breaking the set with host been lost here stay with us for. looters that takes your breath away few tourists travel to these paul it's no prepackaged confort but they joy is the wildest guaranteed guinea's a zoology professor he works in the u.s. and travels to these remote areas in washington every summer as he says he confines untouched landscapes like these anywhere else in the world. we're going off the

list below sea line. if i go wrong the wrong and surprising you'll go straight to the water and so we did our plan to get closer to the sea lion and shake its flipper field before before before. one animal whose par you definitely wouldn't want to shake here is the brown bear you can literally spot a grizzly here by every small weaver this is where the bears are fishing but they have a very well be able to think that we have to keep an eye a wind direction and the distance between them and us up all that could be dangerous so we won't go yes to shell but before it was. and quiet we went but the wind was not on our side and the bear got away but they're usually the first to avoid contact with humans but during spawning time

when both people and bears go fishing people often shoot at them to scare them away and every year here in the region you hear about someone being killed by the predators. but at the mugger down nature reserve where we are no one disturbs the bears peanuts another local resident to haiti's peace being disturbed here is the howlers eagle in has a wingspan of two and a half meters ignace only here in russia far east because of the bundles of salmon and seagulls which feed the giant bird in his studies if gainey focuses on birds so he took me to one of his favorite places here mara island it has the biggest colony of seagulls in the region. and the climb up was tough. but the prize was worth it. if there was no security

here no reason there you will have tons of people coming here not just to get some for only on the beach here nothing is guaranteed you have to struggle to get your piece of bread nothing really well you can fly on oprah did you have to rely on yourself to back. up to be the fat. maybe for the wildlife here is the lack of visitors is for the better but when you stand on top of this you just cantelupe wanting to share the beauty. here is mitt romney trying to figure out the name of that thing that we americans

call i don't know how he concludes the longest and while this campaign in our history colors of the left world that me looking for magically before our eyes that something additionally. would twists and turns to get in the hallmarks of this campaign like the one where a bullet to do because you've never seen anything like this until. it. was up guys i mean martin this is breaking the set bad news for all you barge loving that doomsday preppers out there looks like you're about to cross those delightful twinkies off your list because today it was announced that after a massive employees strike hostess incorporated is going out of business hosts is also the manufacturer of other cream filled sponge cakes like ring dings ding dongs ho hos and how can we forget those delicious cupcakes.

are right that creamy mysterious filling you know the staple that unifies almost every hostess product look i used to love those little hostess cupcakes. but i don't turn off when i found out what that tasted goo was made of first starters one ingredient is calcium sulfate which is pretty much a food grade equivalent of plaster still wondering why hostess products don't ever really expire and don't be fooled it's not manmade it's not a note made cream it's animal shortening aka lard yeah so about one package of twinkies you're not only ingesting disgusting chemicals and large you're also consuming three hundred calories of pure garbage ten grams of fat half of which are saturated and we wonder why americans are so obese well good riddance hostess

frankly it's a good thing that your products won't be available for human consumption the only real tragedy here is the nineteen thousand jobs that will be lost so i guess it's the hostess without the most is time to find something else to indulge and let's break the set. as you know this week gaza has been rocked by air raids from the israeli military yesterday we covered this is stork struggle for self-determination what many people may not realize is how brutal israel's blockade really is and what it means for one point five million gazans who live there it's one of the densest areas in the world and eighty percent of the population has to depend on outside goods to survive as a two thousand and ten there were only eighty one items allowed into gaza everything else has been prohibited from entering why well the israeli government claims that most weapons most.
